As the Commanders and the Generals were busy discussing battle tactics for the upcoming war. It was Lyra' and Mano's jobs to control and calm the public, prepare food supplies, healers and the safety of their citizens.
Mano was outside the palace, running around make sure there is enough food rations for the armies and the citizens. They had built underground silos and cellars to keep the food safe from rodents, especially the those pesky ghost mice, and intruders.
The last they needed was for the whole city to starve after this whole ordeal.
While Mano was running from their farms to their cellars and back, Lyra was stuck in the palace in charge of gathering all the healers, med supplies and preparing an area that they'll use for treatment.
